HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. THIS DAY.—Morning, 2h. 60:n.—Aftornoon, 3a.lBra, ro-goR IIO W.-Morning, 3h. 3Grn.—Aftemoon, 3h. 52m. cl 5 LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 5, 1864. The battle has now begun in earnest ; Mr. DISRAELI's op en i ng speech calling up on the Ministerial side a spea ker no less eminent than Mr. GLADSTONE, gentleman en. That right boo , deavoured, with his customary ability, to turn the aside the force of the di rect a gainst the charges Government, by dvielling upon the official hopes of the Opposition as a party. wi t h that jocularity, which appears to be a favourite w ea p o n with our Government at this crisis, he related to the House fee anecdote of an old lady and gentleman who were murdered by their servant, and thei ep it a ph sasgested that the murderer had done them a kindness by saving them from the " discomfort" an d " inconvenience"of a natural death. " It is only v ery recently," said Mr. GLADSTONE, " that I s-w this epitaph, and it now strongly occurs to me that the right hon. gentleman is anxious to perform for the Government the kind eflice which the domestic servant performed for that old lady and gentleman." Without pausing to dwell upon the appropriate nature of Mr. GLADSTONE'a comparison between the Government of which he is a member, and " an old lady and gentleman," the House was, of course, convulsed with laughter at the anecdote. Mr. GLADSTONE might have remembered, however, that with reference to every Government, as was wittily said of the Czars of Russia, " their natural death is a violent one." No such anecdotes and no such laughter, however, no adroit imputation of party motives or of personal ambition, can avail to set slide the plain statements and 'direct charges ad vanced against the Government. " I have shown you," said Mr. DISRAELI, "that the position of England is most embarrassing, is intolerably difficult, is full of humiliations." And who shall gainsay the truth of that exposition? The lamentable fact is only too patent to all. The leader of the Opposition, again, alluding to the Premier's taunting inquiry as to his (Mr. DISRAELI . S) policy, happily remarked last night—" My answer is, ply policy is the honour of England, it is the peace of Europe, and I say the noble lord hes betrayed both." To which remark the house naturally responded with " loud cheers." To indicate what should be the foreign policy of the nation—that, said Mr. DISRAELI, "is the duty of no one but the responsible Minister of the Crown. Well, then, that being so,'' con tinued the right hon. gentleman, " we will tell the noble lord what is not our policy. We will not first threaten and then refuse to act, We will not lure on our allies by expectations we mean not to fulfil. And if ever it should be the lot of myself or of any public men with whom I have the honour to act to carry on important negoeiations on behalf of this country, euch as the noble lord and his col leagues have had to conduct, I trust it will never be thought by us to be our duty to come to Par liament to announce to the country that we have no allies,' and then declare that c England can never act alone.' These, sir, are words which should never have escaped the lips of it British Minister. Sir, I repudiate and reject them. I remember there was a time when, with not a tithe of her present resources, England, inspired with a patriotic cause, triumphantly encountered a world in arms. And I believe that should the occasion arise— should her independence or her honour be assailed or her empire endangered, England would arise in the magnificence of her might and struggle trium phantly for those objects which are dear to human life, and for which men live and natioas flourish. But, sir, I for one will never consent to go to war to extricate Ministers from the consequences of their own indiscretion. It is in this spirit that I have drawn up this address to the Crcwn. I have drawn it up in the spirit in which the Royal Speech was delivered at the commencement of the session. I am ready to vindicate the honour of the country whenever it is necessary ; but I have drawn up these resolutions in the interest of peace." In the interests of Peace, interests dear to us all, but also with a keen sense of the paramount importance of Duty and Honour, the people are now anxiously watching the proceedings of our Parliament. With an eye to the coming elections, the members have a difficult task. They have, however, only to consider well the old adage that Honesty, with Fidelity to all our pledges and pro mises, is the best policy, and the only one likely to tell with the English public. " Not once cr twice, in our rough island story, The path of duty is the way to glory," The removal of a good many of our metropolitan toll gates last Friday was a source of general satis faction, and it is only to be wondered at that our patience did not sooner give way before such an infliction. Whether from sharing SIIAESPERE'S opinion of keeping to :he evils that we know, or from the proverbial horror of ratepayers to an in crease of the rates, it is certain that turnpike trusts and toll gates have long outlived their day, and that they belong to a system and an epoch all'ogether gone by. They are not in the least in accordance wish the spirit of our general legislation, and it amounts almost to an absurdity that when so much is being said about relieving traffic and facilitating communication these establishments should be pre served. They are undoubtedly a very serious hindrance to the passengers and tend greatly to promote confusion and collisions by inducing heavy vehicles or, indeed, vehicles of any kind that can t n erd to lose time, to go out of their way to aveid the obnoxious toil, and sometimes, as in the case of the bridges, this produces over -crowding of the rival ways. The good work has not, however, been done all at once; and even now the inh,abie tants of the southern metropolitan districts ara loft lamenting not only the inevitable bridge toll but the turnpike on the high road as well. The report just issued by the select committee appointed to inquire into the matter of the abolition gives, however, screse encouragement to these ill-used citizens and to the victims of turnpike trusts throughout the country. Scotland and South Wales have greatly the advantage of England and North Wales in this respect, and for the superiority of VA southern part of the princi pality, its inha'aitalits may thank the shade of REBECCA and per followers, which is perhaps not a very good raoral. The extreme inconsistency in the number of the county tolls in some parts is easily 'explained. There is no longer sufficient traffic on the highroads to pay for the expenses of maintaining the road since the diversion of the 'through traffic by the railways, and consequently the trustees are forced to increase the number of their bars in order to obtain sufficient returns to keep the road in order. It might be fair enough in the old days for travellers to the north to contri bate to the maintenance of the great highways thither, but in oar time those who habitually travel much about the country pay a tolerably heavy charge towards maintaining another roadway in order, where the tollgates are the stations, and they are not therefore forced by any law of social equity or common sense to contribute to a highway they never use. The whole burden of keeping the roads in good repair and discharging the duties of the turnpike trusts falls therefore upon the local in habitants, who would find it more convenient as well as more seneible to pay the amount required with their half-yearly rates instead of doling it out in twopences and threepances every time they pass up or down the road. We are told in the report that ratepayers often have to discharge the double duty, and to contribute to the mainten ance of the roads, as well as paying the toll. " Cases are not rare of trusts in which the whole produce of the tolls, after payment of the establishment charges, is abeorved in the payment of the interest of the debt, while arrears accumulate, and the whole burden of the maintenance of the roads is thrown upon the parishes." The establishment charges which are referred to hero are often very heavy. Mr. WRIGHTSON, a gentleman who has given the committee much information on the subject, esti mates the cost of each gate at £25, and he thinks there are at least four gates in every trust, which is a l o w estimate, so that, as the number of trusts i s more than 1,100, the cost of collection is very great. Another gentleman states that in the Leominster trusts, it takes one half the revenue to pay the ex penses and establishment charges, while the repairs are put up on the per i s h es . I n some districts in th e North of E ng l and and elsewhere there are excep tional insta nces i n which the retent i on o f t h e to ll s may be considered advantageous, but as a general rule the sooner they are abolished throughout the country the better. The committee, having thc. roughly investigated the matter, have arrived very decidedly at this conclusion, and pronounce the abo. lition to be both beneficial and expedient, especially if the system now general in Scotland and South Wales were adopted. Road boards are appointed, who, by the assessment of counties, or the consoli dation cf various trusts, have greatly lteaened the expenses, while they employ a competent surveyor for each county to see that the business is thoroughly and satisfactorily done. Some such change is very advisable, and the public will no doubt readily subs scribe to it, as they unquestionably coincide in the opinion succinctly expressed by the committee that " Tolls are unequal in pressure, costly in collection, inconvenient to the public, and injurious as causing a serious impediment to intercourse and traffic." The Royal Banquet at the Trinity,House was invested with feelings of interest more remarkable than those which ordinarily appertain to similar festivities when graced by the presence of royal and distinguished persons. It wes the first visit of the PRINCE to Trinity House, and he must have felt some emotion in the thought that his late lamented father presided over that institution for some years. This is not by any means the first time that the Prince of WALES has taken his father's place in doing honour to societies, associations, and other objects of attraction in arts, literature, and science. On this occasion his Royal Highness went as a guest, but of course every one present accepted his visit as another of those gracious demonstrations which he has so frequently given, and which have associated his name in the memory of the public with all that is genial and cordial in feeling and sympathy. The days are past when princes are abut up in castles and palaces, unable to mix with the world. They are now permitted, by the more enlightened opinions of the day, to mingle occasionally with the amusements, and to study the undertakings which contribute so largely to influence the minds of their generation. It was a peculiar feature in the banquet at the Trinity House that nearly all the speakers were connected with the Government. There were guests who entertained various shades of political opinion, but the duties of oratory devolved on those whom we msy suppose have enough talking in the ordinary pursuance of their avocations, if not sometimes a great deal too much. All was very admirably arranged, and the greatest satisfaction appears to have been felt by the esiembly. His Royal High ness's observations were brief, but distinguished for appropriateness and the expression of a kindly interest, He observed that it was always a pleasure to the Royal family to contribute to the encourage ment of societies which did service to the country, and of these none were more conspicuous than the Trinity, for the Corporation deserved their gratitude on account of their exertions on behalf of our sol diers and sailors. Lord PALMERSTON always appears to advantage oa occasions like this; he possesses a happy gift of speaking to the purpose and making ;he most of whatever subject comes in his way. His remarks on the institution that brought them together were animated and interesting. He pointed out the advantages that had been con ferred on the country by the corporation of which he was Master. He had heard it said " that the dangers of a voyage from the Etat Indies were nothing in comparison with those which environed the chops of the Channel. The lights established by the corporation of the Trinity•house enabled voyagers to avoid those perils, and the institution was therefore entitled to the gratitade of the pub lic." Certainly it is always desirable to adduce some useful services as the effect of the labours of any society or institution, acd it must be admitted that, in this respect, Lord PALMERSTON was Bile ceesful in his attempt to do honour to his friends. che noble viscount had another we - pot:unity of descanting upon the merits of an aesocia- Lion of which he was the chief, for it devolved upon him to propose the health of her MAJESTY'S Ministers. Of course this cir camstance occasioned general merriment, and was the paramount joke of the evening, affJrciing one of those lively incidents that do more to create har mony and promote the success cf an undertaking than the most elaborate pre'orations and strenuous 'ndeavours for that otiect. The noble lord was at great pains to sho — er that this toast might be divested of all political feelings, for he said they were to drink to to physical health only of the Ministers, whie4 concerned the welfare of th 3 community; for 4 .; they remained in din and did not remain in health the " public service would be imperfectly managed." These remarks occasioned the greatest delight to all the company, and without eiaggera don it may be said that this entertainment waa one of the moat brilliant and successful that have taken place this season, and the Prince of WALES could have no better opportunity of witnessing the ab sence from political feeling which so eminently dis tinguishes the social gatherings of the present day. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENILiG, JULY 5, 1804, Review in Hyde Park, A grand review was held in Hyde Park yesterday, before the Prince and Princess of Wales and a brilliant assemblage. The troops on the ground consisted of the Grenadier and Coldstream Guards, two batteries of the Royal Horse Artil lery from Woolwich, the sth Fusiliers, the Life Guards, and Horse Guards Blue. The troops went through a series of file and volley firing, and there was a charge by the cavalry, in which, unfortunately, four troopers were dismounted ; the whole force then advanced in review order and presented arms to the staff. The firing was remarkable for its re gularity and precision, and the whole of the movements of the troops were executed with great steadiness and concen tration, After these evolutions the whole force marched off the ground with their bands playing. The Princess was accompanied by the Prince and Prin cess Louis of Hesse, the Princess Louise, and the Princess Mary of Cambridge. The Prince of \Vales rode immedi ately after the carriage of the Princess, accompanied by the Duke of Cambridge, and attended by a very brilliant staff, amongst whom were Sir Yorke Scarlett, Lord G. Paget, Colonels Weed and Lambert, Lord F. Paulett, Ths review was over by twelve o'clock, the 12th Lancers, who had kept the ground, being the last to disappear. HEALTH OF MR.

"It is not," says the Tablet, " on the question of Schleswig-Holstein alone, but on the general policy of the Guvernmen c that the country will have to decide. If Irish Catholic members do nut clearly understand this, we apprehend some of them will learn it to their cost, when they come before their constitu ents as having, with their last vote, supported Lord Pal merston on a question of confidence. And so, let hon, gentlemen look well to their lobby, and may God defend the right." A SEAMAN DROWNED.--T he Caledonia, 33, iron clad, in charge of Cow. Hodges, assistant master attendant of Sheerness Dockyard, arrived at Devonport soon after 10 p.m, on Saturday, to be docked and prepared for the pendant at the Nore. She made a fine passage down, and will be brought into harbour early this morning. During the passage, at coma half-past 11 on Friday morning, when she was off Margate, Richard Barrett, one of the riggers on board from Sheerness Dockyard, was drowned, The Cale donia was going at a high rate of speed, under steam and sail, when a cry was raised of a man overboard. several persons, among whom Barrett was foremost, rushed to lower a boat to proceed to the rescue. Barrett was in the act of stepping from the ship's side into the boat, when the gripes were suddenly let go, and, the boat swinging off, he fell between the boat and the vessel overboard. Efforts were made to rescue him, but unfortunately without success. The original alatrq IVO enbeequontly found to have been made in error,, LATEST INTELLIGENCE.; (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA.

The Prince de Crony, y ou are aware, has appealed." , SPAIN. M. Pacheco, Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, has just addressed a circular to the diplomatic agents of Spain, explaining the sentiments of the Cabinet of Madrid resp ec tin g the conflict w i th P eru ; "The Spanish Government formally recognises the Republic of Peru as a free, independent, and sove reign nation; it claims no right of property in the Clainchtt 15130 s or arty other American territory, nor has it hesitated a moment to disavow M. M,zir redo and Admiral Piezon in se far as they acted from an error of judgment, and contrary to the in tentions of the Spanish Government. But Spain will not give up the Chincha Islands to the Commissioner appointed by the Peruvian Go vernment to receive them until she shall have obtained the satisfaction to which she is entitled. The reparation demanded from Peru is that the Peruvian Government shall declare itself altogether unconnected with the attacks directed against the person of M. Mezarredo, and ready to punish the parties concerned in them, also that it shall consent to receive a commissioner charged to negotiate for justice in the matter of th© murders at Talambo. To this circumstance is added an abstract of a report addressed by M. Mezarredo to the Minis ter of Foreign Affairs, dated 21st June, which gives 'an account of the dangers to which he was ezpop.aa by the hostile manifestations e a certain number of negtoes at Panama. The authorities of the isthmus remsi,ned passive during the tumult, the head of the police of Panama having declared that if he interfered all the negro population would rise to support the assailants, and that the riot would then assume formidable proportions. It may be that the Peruvian Government has already declared itself a total stranger to these facts, which moreover did not take place within its territory. "The Peruvian Ministry," says the .Epoba of Madrid, " has just been replaced by a Cabinet favourable to a good understanding with the mother country. The first act of the new Ministers will be to send to Spain an ambassador invested with full powers." AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna, of July 2, says :—ln poli tical circ'es it is still much the question of tee recent doings in Kissingen and Carlsbad. At Kissingen the two Emperors were much together, and it was often the question between them of the state of things in Poland. The Emperor Alexander said that no Power except Russia, Austria, and Prussia had a right to meddle with Polish matters; and there is reason to believe that the Emperor Francis Joseph spoke in the same sense. The Czar advised his fellow-sovereign not to press King Christian of Denmark too hardly, and at the same time sought to obtain from him a promise that he in the German Diet would support the claims of the Duke of Oldenburg to the Duchies. The Russian states men and nobles were more reserved than their So vereign, and it soon became evident to the Aus trians that Prince Gonechekeill's feelings towards them had undergone no change. The result of the meeting of the two Emperors was satisfactory, inasmuch as it served to improve their personal relations; but there is no reason to believe that the entente between their Governments is more cor dial now than it was a month or six weeks ago Count Itechberg went to Carlsbad with the inten tion of doing all in his power to induce M. von Bismark to come to terms with Denmark; but, being weak of purpose, ha allowed himself to be persuaded to continue the war. It is not likely that the Prussian Minister obtained from his Austrian colleagne a promise to support the claims of the Duke of Oldenburg, but certain it is that the Aus :risn Government has ceased to urge the German Diet to pronounce in favour of his rival, the Duke of Augustenburg. It is ❑ow proposed to refer the mat- ter to an "Austregal Court" or to a Federa► Court of Arbitration, which means that M. von Bismark wishes the question relative to th© right of succ.:!ssion to be kept in abeyance for a time. When the Em neror Francis Joseph went from this city to Kissin- gen he was very desirous to put an end to the war with Denmark, but on his arrival in Carlsbad the King of Prussia managed to persuade him that his military honour was at stake, and that it was his duty es a German Sovereign to inflict further punishment on the renitent Danes. At Carle bad, as at lii-ssingen, it was the question of Poland, and it has been agreed between the parties to the partition of that country that no foreign State shall be allowed to interfere in behalf of the Poles. No now convention has been entered into between the three Powers, " because the treaty concluded at INlttnehengratz in 1832 is still valid.' The treaty in question has never been published but it is known to me that by it tl.e Northern Powers are bound to assist each other in maintain ing their political position and influence both at home and abroad. 1 1 7niie the Emperor and Count Rechberg were at Carlsbad, arrangements were made for the continuance of the war, but greatly doubt the correctness of the current report relative to the approaching occupation of the island of Funea by the Austrians. It is true that the two large steamers which the Allies have hired ate Ham- burg Company aro now lying in the Ko[ding Fiord, but a well•ii:formed military friend has given me to understand, that for the moment there is no ques tion of an attack being mado on any of the Danish islands. At Carlsbad M. von Bismark proposed that the German Confederation‘should be invited to take part in the war against the common enemy ; but Count Rechberg replied that the Danish quee. tion could become even more dangerous than it is now if the whole of Germany should take the field against Denmark. It involved in the war, the Germans would be difficult to manage, and it is not beyond the bounds that some of them would turn their arms against their unrighteous rulers. The great German Powers being resolved that the Danes shall pay dearly for their stubbornness, are about to levy contributions in Jutland. Prince Hohenlohe•lngelfangen is to act as Prussian commissary in that province, and he hes been instructed to get es ranch as he can out of its unfortunate innabitttnte. When first Russia ceded her claims on the Duchies to o.denburg, the King of Prussia loudly spoke in favour of the Duke of Augnstenburg, " but he was soon brought to reason by M, von Bismark, who now completely rules his Royal Master." The perton to whom I am in bted for the information contained in the last sentence of the foregoing paragraph is one of the leaders of the reactionary party in Austria, and he very candidly told me that he and all fte men cf his opinions greatly admired M. von Bismark, " whose energy and statesmanship are on a par." The gentleman in question said that Count Rechbeek had just the same political instincts as M. von Bismark, but that he had not the moral courage openly to display them. "We live in the hope," said rdy very candid interlocutor, " that M. von Bismark will soon put an end to the constitutional regime in Prussia, and that the other German Ministers will imitate his example." Such a reactionary wind is blowing here just nhw, that M. von Schmerling is denounced es a "Progres sist,' but he hardly has more claim to that title than had his predecessors, Count Goluchowski and Baron Bach. The Constitution of his framing is stilt extant; but hither it has led to no good, as the lieges have the disadvantages of a constitu tional form of Government without its advantages. The new State machinery is very complicated and enormously expensive, but I am unable to perceive that it works better than that which has been set aside. When first the Reichsrath met it was hoped and believed that it would steadfastly uphold ttie rights of the people; but during the last session it became evident to all that the elect of the German part of the Austrian ration were content to follow the load given by the Minister of State. In former times it was no easy matter to get an Austrian order, but during the last few years they have been plentiful as blackberries. There are now in the Reichsrath many supporters of the Go vernment who obtained the bit of riband which they wear in the buttonhole of their coat by sacri ficing the political opinions which they originally entertained, or rather professed to entertain, The order usually given to such worthies is that of the Iron Crown, Since it has become known to the public that the paltry sum of 1,500,000 florins is to be raised by means of lottery tickets at 10 florins great depression has been felt, as there is a preset]. timent that the finances of the empire are going to the bad. M. von Plener was opposed to the mea sure, but he was overruled by his colleagues, as they wished to make themselves agreeable to the Em. peror,who is desirous that the hospital named after the Crown Prince, his son, shall be speedily finished.

Tie cases in court were nest of the slightest interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, IiIARLBOROUGH STREET. A SOLDIER CHARGED WITH BEING IN UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF A WATCH AND CHAIN OF THE VALUE Or I.OO3—SINGULAR CASE.—Joseph Hood, a private of the Grenadier Guards, St George's Barracks, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt, by Inspector Richard Tanner, of the Detective Department, Scotland-yard, with being in pos session of a geld watch ,:nd chain of the value of £lOO. Inspector Tanner said that, in consequence of a commu nication from Colonel Bruce he went to St George's Bar racks, and the prisoner was brought before him. He told the poisoner that he was a police utricer, and asked him if he had any objection to tell him where he got the watch and chain wt,ich he produced. The prisoner said, " Yesterday afternoon I was outside the barrack gate, and I saw, a ,gentletuan there, and he as"i,eci me to have some thing to drink, and I had some rum with hifu, and he took me to his house, and he then made me a present of the watch and chain." The watch and chain were gold ; of the value of £lOO, and the prisoner said he did not know where the gentleman lived. On the prisoner being taken to the station he repeated the statement 11 . e had previously made to him, Sergeant David Fullerton, the sergeant of the prisoner's company, stated that seeing the prisoner in possession of the watch and chain, and hearing his account of how he became possessed of them, he communicated with Col. Bruce, and information was given to the police. Mr Tyrwhitt inquired if it was known who the watch belonged to, and the inspector said it was the property of Count Waldstein, who resided in Mount-street, Grosvenor square. He saw Count Waldstein last night, and he was too ill to attend. His statement was that he was robbed of the watch and chain in a broil with some soldiers in a street at the back of the Nat °nal Gallery, Trafalgar-square (Hemming's-row). Mr Tyrwhitt said he should remand the prisoner for a week, bat would take bail for him. Inspector Tanner said he was informed the prisoner's time of service had nearly expired. It was stated in court that for some reason it was not ex pected the Count would attend. IVES MINSTER. EFFECT° OP TfiE REVlEW.—Charles Lewis, an interpre ter of languages, was charged before Mr Selfe with being drunk and riotous in Princes-street. Westminster. Police-sergeant Buckley, B 17, stated that about five o'clock yesterday afternoon he heard an uproar in Princes street, when on going there he found the prisoner, who was surrounded by several parsons. He was bleeding from the nose and eye. As he was the worse for liquor, and was very noisy, witness tried to induce hin to go home, and said that he would assist his wife to take him home. He got as far as the broad Sanctuary, when he said he would not go any further. Witness was then obliged to go to the hospital for a s'reteher. Mr Safe (to the prieoner)—What do you eay to being drunk ? Prisoner—l went to the Review with some friends and had a few glasses to drink, which must have overcome me. Had I not have been interfered with I should have gone home very Tale(ly, but I was knocked down. I should like to know who knocked me down. Mr Selfe—Oh no. It was the ale which knocked you down. You have been here before ; you are an excitable man when sober, but when you have got a glass or two to drink you are much worn°. I must fine you. The prisoner was fined 10s., or in default 7 days. THAMES. A SPECIMEN or THE EAST END RABBLE AT TILE LONDON HOSPITAL.—WiIIiam B,nuett, cooper, Richard Leftwich, painter and glazier, Ann Robertson anti Sarah Gifford, all from the neighbourhood of Limehouse fields, were brought before Mr Cartridge, charged with disgraceful conduct in the Whitechapel-road, and assaulting Jesse Button, a police constable, No 359 K. Yesterday afternoon, at half-past 4 o'clock the prisoners were among the crowd assembleu in front of the London Hospital to witness the departure of the Prince and Princess of Wales. The piecnors were very noisy, and endea vouring to excite confusion. B?nnett made use of most diegustinglan,suage,and insulted severalreepectabte females. One lady remonstrated with him, and he laid his hand on her shoulder, and made use of some insulting epithets. She called Button, a police constable, standing near, and the prisoner swore at her, and said "If you can't boae to be touched, ann can't bear a little slang, 3 ou should not come to the East." Button requested the prisoner to behave himself and not make a disturbance. The prisoner imme diately struck the constable on the chin. The officer took him into custody, and he made a violent resistance, and kicked Button on the knee. A host of policemen went to the assistance of Button, and took the prisoner away. Left wich jumped between Bennett and the policeman, and tried to rescue him. At this time tho two females, whose conduct was singularly audacious, were throwing stones at the police. Some of the stones struck the police men, but they were not materially injured. Mr Partridge said the conduct of Bennett was disgusting and unmanly, and smtenced him to six weeks' imprison ment and hard labour. He fined Leftwich 20s, and the two females, who said they made up trousers, lOs each. The women made use of the most horrible language as :hey were leaving the dock, Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day, Market opens firm, and sales will probably reach 8,000 or 9,000 be!es.
